Frangelico Hazelnut Liqueur

Frangelico is a special hazelnut liqueur from Piedmont that will delight you with its silky-smooth taste and aromas of cocoa and vanilla. A scent of roasted hazelnuts and a comforting sweetness unfolds on the nose. On the palate, Frangelico enchants with its sweetness of soft hazelnut aromas, elegant bourbon vanilla, as well as fine traces of dark cocoa and freshly brewed coffee. The finale is velvety soft and enormously persistent, skillfully showcasing the famous hazelnut aromas.

Frangelico is unique not only because of its taste but also because of the shape of its bottle, which is reminiscent of a monk's habit. The name of the liqueur comes from a monk named Brother Angelico, who lived in Piedmont in the 18th century and produced a remarkable liqueur from local hazelnuts. Even today, only the "Tonda Gentile" is used for Frangelico, which is considered one of the best hazelnut varieties in the world. The quality of the hazelnuts thus plays a decisive role in the taste of the liqueur. Roasted, the Piedmont hazelnut tastes as if it has been given a wafer-thin, noble milk chocolate glaze and is particularly highly valued by confectioners in Italy and many other countries. The small nut is almost indispensable in nougat.
